Advice for people with new guitars

Who do you look at then?


Edit -> Oh, wait, wait, I know! You're looking at the bass player to tell you when to change chords! Me Stupido! How could I forget? You know, Feylya dear boy, sometimes you seem quite lucid and I forget you're a guitarist!

[wink]Yeah, of course you are [/wink]

Looks nice, but could be a piece of shyte. Worth a gamble though, you could alwyas sell it for more here. Still, 6 strings is so much fun. Takes a while to get used to where everything is but for the added range you get, it's worth the stress. Then it's just a matter of changing your playing style to take advantage of the extra range (more than a regular guitar) while still 'keeping it real' down at the bottom end. The low notes are best used sparingly. I did a gig with my mates blues band just after I got the new pickups and kept the B string for a few special moments when I wanted to rattle the rafters.

I am so easily amused

If you're unsure, walk away, I don't want to get into another arguement about the sturdiness of where neck and body meet but, suffice to say, I think it's rather important. I'm keeping an eye out for a second hand Carvin 6 to defret. I had one in mind on Chrisguitars but it got sold two days before I tried to put a deposit down. You'd get a regular one for about $500-$550. Might be worth an extra bit of saving?

Sound logic there. Plus 6 strings isn't for everybody, it'd be a pain in the arse to get a 6 and then think "I should've got a 5"

Anyway, check this out

If I fall into a hole filled with money, I will get that guy to build me a fretless 6. That's from the guy who made the rosewood pickups. I dig his work man, I really do.

Emmmmm... nah, think'll we'll call that Plan Z

I thought you had tired of the EMG sound?
